PureBasic Forums - English

I have a strange problem: every time when I start the PureBasic IDE, the help window opens automatically. If I close it by clicking the X button, the help window reopens. Closing it with ALT+F4 works, but when I compile and start my PureBasic program, the help window reopens. Also minimize the help window does not work (it resizes back to the normal size).

My OS is Fedora Workstation with the Gnome desktop and some extensions. I temporarily disabled the extensions, but that didn't solve the problem.

I'm using the latest version of PureBasic (6.30), but I also had the same problem with an older version.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I suspect Fedora, but I'm very happy with this OS, so first I try to find a solution before installing another distro.

I found the issue: unplugged my keyboard and no more problems, so it's a hardware problem. Need to clean F1 key I guess.
